Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.
Dinner
Yngund brought in a meal of meat and fruit while Khlothar and Hundyng sat at a table. There was much tension between the two, Hundyng being naturally distrustful of strangers and Khlothar being on edge about his host breaking the laws of hospitality.
"May I ask what brings you to out to brave the storm?" asked Hundyng.
"I did come across a group of men dragging a poor girl against her will somewhere." Replied Khlothar. "I could not allow this and so I confronted them. We fought, I killed them but alas I accidentally the slew the girl as well."
Hundyng had been about to take a bite of meat when he had been told of this. Placing the meat down upon his wooden plate, Hundyng stood up and looked down upon his guest.
"So, the killer of my brothers and sister has made his way here!"
"What?" asked Khlothar. "You share kinship with those rogues and that poor damsel?"
"I do!" nodded Khlothar. "We had arranged her to marry to a fellow outlaw who could come to my aid if I needed it."
"Then I ask for your forgiveness!" asked Khlothar. "As I killed your brothers intentionally I am your enemy but as I killed your sister accidentally I ask that I may enter your service until you may consider myself forgiven!"
"I will not!"
"But these are the laws of our people!"
"If need be I shall spit on our laws!" Hundyng turned away, his appetite having been robed by his anger. "I will not break the law of hospitality but I will allow you only to stay until the morning, then I shall have you leave and the hunt shall begin!"
